Imagine your child being feet away from you, with a mass shooter, and you're not able to get to them and police aren't helping them either. Gut wrenching.
All while police pull their own children out
Exactly one parent said they're little kids they can't protect themselves he's absolutely correct how gut wrenching something more should have been done. RIP little ones
@@HTownsurvivor good for you I applaud you.
The cops would have had to shoot me to keep me from going in. 😠
And then you get handcuffed and pepper sprayed for trying.
Those parents were not waiting, they were being detained while those children died.
What a horrendous failure by the system.
@@princegroove you got it wrong. the system is a failure. you could have predicted this. dont think youre safe in america ever
It seems like it was all planned
Detained and pepper sprayed. Speechless
@@elizabethjones2005 dont say that or the "smart" folks gone start saying conspiracy kcuzz the mfkcas who made that term trustworthy like fukc smh
Deepest condolences to all the parents of these beautiful children. Heart wrenching!
Heyy beautiful how are you doing today
These poor families. Not only dealing with their loss but also with this failure to help from the police.
Heart broken
this will go down as the worst example of public safety leadership. Disgusting to the core.
Hardly. This is SOP for cops. Look what happened at Columbine.
Your tax dollars at WORK!
@@steveeddy6876 is certainly that it ended being a border control officer that dealt with the shooter.
Feel bad for the DPS troopers that now live with the fact that they let a local police commander control them ... those guys knew what do to and they let the command structure basically kill those kids and teachers.
@@steveeddy6876 They do terrific and difficult job. I salute them. But they dropped the ball here. Dead bodies were found in 4 classrooms. Not one. I do understand the barricaded situation the police and assumed they were dealing with, but some lives can be saved if you give them medical care sooner. They needed to storm in the place even with their handguns against his semi-autos rifles. 🕳️ For me, the most horrific detail is that he was shooting outside the school for 12 minutes and a patrol passed him while he was hiding outside the school. Someone opened the backdoor for some reason (maybe to see what happens), only for the killer to enter the school from that unlocked backdoor. Ouch!!😤 That's painful.
@@h.a.l.3980 What "SOP" stands for? .. I salute cops. They do difficult job. But the ball was dropped here due to misjudgment. 🕳️ Dead bodies were found in 4 classrooms. Not one.

I used to be a firefighter and when we arrived to a burning house where there may be people inside, we went into the fire knowing the risks, no hesitation. These cops froze in the situation.. SAD!
No, you didn't. You would assess the situation and try to first learn whether or not there were people in the house. And if there were, where were they located. And if flames were already billowing out of the bedroom where they were believed to be, you didn't run in so that you could burn along with them. Because you wouldn't be here to write your fanciful tale.
@Jonathan Williams
You sound like a shitty firefighter
@@jonathanwilliams1641 do you really think fireman wait outside burning buildings for an hour before doing anything just to be sure they know where everybody in the burning building is located? It shouldn’t have been difficult for them to figure out there were still people inside because the people inside were calling 911 asking for help.
@@tyc6268 Fireman do not go into a burning building unless they are reasonably sure there are people inside who can be saved. And the officers in Uvalde knew there were children alive inside the school. They just couldn't get to them until they had the keys. Look at the timeline. Once they got the keys they went in. The doors were locked from the inside, designed to keep active shooters out.
I looked up the NFPA report for 2020. Local fire departments responded to 1.3 million fires. These fires resulted in 3,500 civilian deaths. Of these, 379,500 were residential structural fires which caused 2,630 civilian deaths. And how many firefighters died from activities at a fire scene? 26. Nearly all of these were not deaths inside of a burning building. Do you know what this shows? Firefighters don't run into burning buildings unless they are nearly certain that they can make it back out alive.
@@jonathanwilliams1641 must’ve been one of the classrooms without windows, do you think the police wait for the keys before searching a house?
It could also show that firefighters wear protective gear meant to protect them from specifically fire related threats. Kind of like police and bullet proof vests. Just saying.
I’m an officer, this is terrible they all need to leave law enforcement letting kids die…..can’t get any lower.
I appreciate your comment.
That Sheriff’s deputy that lost his daughter, said that what he heard on the radio was utter chaos.
Hello Annie how are you doing today.
Cops pepper sprayed and tasered parents to keep them out. One parent, upon hearing his daughters voice over cops radio begging for help tried to go in totally unprotected was pinned down and handcuffed. Yet these idiots still spew their good guy theory? Disgusting!
Yes it's but it's not that way on TV Hmmm
That's because cops are used to harassing innocent people.
@@steveeddy6876 What you see on TV the cops have a hand in editing in a way. Because a much larger percentage of them than common citizens believe that right wing bunk. So any event or protest they run off the left and kiss ass of the right. Only giving them access most of the time. Most believe that the government is coming for your guns. Believe no gun laws would ever work so why try. That's my favorite. And more good guys with guns will stop the shootings. It's absolute insanity!
When you sign up for a job but didn't read the job description
that's NOT there job description.
@@lawnpro979 yh there job description is to avoid actual action and instead harass civilians
The job description there is "crack hippie skulls"
@@lawnpro979 "A first responder unwilling to place the lives of the innocent above their own safety should consider a different career field."
@@greywakez true but the American people dont want them too. Supreme Court has already ruled on that, They decided it's ok to have pussies as cops! Welcome to liberal America.
My heart aches for these parents and family 💔
My Deepest Condolences on the Tragic, Senseless loss of Your Child along with All the other Children. Sending Thoughts and Prayers.💕💕💕💔💔💔💔🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏💙
They weren't held back, they were cowards. 18 years in the Army and I can tell you right now if this happened ANYWHERE near a military base then there wouldn't be enough police or threat of arrest to stop us from going in after 3 mins of arrival.
I agree they behind was scared they need to be retrained everybody that put on that outfit ain't cut out for what all comes with it
Army training is not the same as the civilian world law enforcement training. Light infantry will engage and destroy by all means. That’s is why military force can’t be used domestically and on the civilians.
They need to upload body worn cam footage
US MARINE brother, I stand with you
Okay but if we’re gonna be in a state where open carry is legal, where an 18 year old can buy a gun but can’t buy a drink…. If we want everyone to have guns then we do need to train police officers like the military, every school should be equipped with the right equipment, bullet shields etc….it’s either that or we improve gun laws.
That’s absolutely ridiculous, when officers arrived in sene they should have immediately made entry into the classroom, many lives could have been spared. Such a terrible failure that keeps occurring. May the victims rest in paradise.
Because those kids are brown… that’s why they didn’t care
People are acting like the shooter was killing people for an hour. Within minutes the shooting was done. That’s why they didn’t make entry. Shooter was no longer considered an active shooter by the incident commander inside and was barricaded inside the classroom.
Yes,,and Scared , distraught , worried parents who wanted to run in and save children were TAZED, handcuffed and pepper sprayed ..IM PISSED AND WANT TO HELP FIGHT AND ADVOCATE I DONT KNOW WHERE TO BEGIN ? IM ONLY 1 MOTHER BUT IM WILLING TO DO WHATEVER I CAN !!! SO THIS NEVER EVER HAPPENS AGAIN
@@InDatParish you're what's wrong with the police. America is sick of the bootlickers and copsuckers.
@@InDatParish nobody understand how different the strategies are when a suspect becomes barricaded with hostages. it was the wrong decision because he was still killing but not sure how we can expect them to be omniscient of that.
Absolutely Heartbreaking all of the misinformation that was vital in saving those Childrens lives. So very terrible for those parents to lose the most precious possession their Children and knowing that help was only just standing there waiting.
Absolutely horrific!
Kids are calling to 911. Police have no idea ? They are calling , calling and they do nothing!!! That’s the truth. What do you mean “ we didn’t know “ come on !!
They obviously knew they were there!
Kids would of gotten a much faster response from the police if someone lit up a joint. They would immediately rush in to crack some skulls.
They're all lying. They've been lying from the start. The FBI should immediately be taking over this case, investigating not just the murders but the Gov and all the cops who attended. Nothing these people say can be trusted. No one in America should believe anything these lying sacks of garbage say about what happened because they have proven they are only interested in protecting themselves and pushing more lies.
@@brianvail9212 yeah really.
Liars, killers and thieves
Every GD one of them...
It's the same excuse they give whenever they commit a despicable action: they feared for their lives.
How much longer as a society as we going to let that ridiculous excuse slide? Police have so much power and authority and no ducking accountability. It’s frustrating as an American
Not the same at all! When they fear for their lives, it's usually an unarmed person, & they shoot to kill!
Here we have children fearing for their lives, & Leo's wait an hour to do their job? WTF
Police service attracts a lot of wannabes. They want the guns, the uniform, the cool car, and, most of all, the ability to fuckup someone’s day because they can. There are good cops, who behave ethically and responsibly, but not enough. Many are sheep dressed up like sheepdogs. The irony is that these cops may be fired, if their union can’t protect them. But they’ll have new police jobs a few counties over in a few months.
After all the bs liberals put cops thru last 2 years, can you blame them if they don't have any Fs left to give?
@@bigbeef2654 And I'm voting for Trump in 2024. No matter who runs against him.
This is so painful and sad. Poor kids and families OMG
I am praying for all involved because you cannot make sense of evil . What a heartbreaking and evil act .
Regardless of whether the shooter was still active or not, how many lives were lost because EMS was unable to render aid to the critically injured until an hour later?
@DankSpank, exactly! I have read people that said "officers waited because there wasn't" an active shooter situation", but officers must get in. I mean, some children bled to death, not immediately. Kids needed help. Some kids still call 911. Sooooo sad.
Probably a few at the very least. What a disgrace.
Your right, trauma units always indicate the first hour is extremely important, they call it the golden hour.
It's called the golden hour for trauma patients. Smh sad.
Apparently a child’s life is worth as much as an officer’s salary. Not a single officer disobeyed orders and stormed into the building? Bystander effect in the worst way.
Everyone in their mind thought that the person next to them was going to go in but no one moved sad
the blame is largely on the commanding officer who ordered everyone to stay put. it's not quite a bystander effect if you're being ordered by your own commander to do nothing, although he obviously made the wrong decision.
They don't need orders during an active shooter. The protocol says any police first to the scene do not need an order. They are to track down the shooter and fire until the shooter is dead. Not 1 cop needed an order.
Texas police beat and taser parents as they try get into the school to give there life for their kids. While Texas police cowardly stayed outside the school.
So much for the f*ckn PROTOCOL.
I hope those officers hear the children's voices for the rest of their lives. Bunch of cowards!
Hello Mary how are you doing today
Truly hell on earth for all the parents and children.
Hello tara how are you
This is disgusting. Total and utter failure. There needs to be accountability.
They should be shot
If they were defunded, then the county is at fault. Maybe these cops were diversity hires. Ever seen the movie "Police Academy"?
Mistakes were made, improve and move on
Don't blame yourself there was nothing you could have done!! Everyone wants to be the comment site hero but nobody wants make a difference.
By the gun rights lobbyists!
I don’t understand how being barricaded lessens the severity of the situation. There is a man with a gun inside of a public school… The local police department went as far as preventing federal officers from entering! Blood is on the hands of the uvalde chief of police
Exactly! It's coming more apparent they knew the situation. They just didn't want to risk their own lives.
Blood is on the hands of all who will not restrict these weapons of war.FFS.
@@lynryall1317 wake up! Arm and protect yourself!
Couldn't legally buy beer BUT can buy guns. Wow, just WOW! HATS OFF TO THE LAWMAKERS YOU GUYS! 🤦
@@novogral7889 yep, you can buy thousands of rounds of ammunition but not one can of suds with it.
Heartbreaking 💔 🙏
Poor kids. I can only imagine the terror they went through.
That police department is a disgrace. There is NO excuse for how this was executed. Who In the hell told the commanding officer this was a barricade situation?? This was pure neglect!!
Even if the commanding officer was notified of that. How could he determine that if the school hadn’t been completely evacuated yet with all children and staff accounted for? They’re lying.
@@WHOTHESONSETSFREE01 lol LAPD is a disgrace but at least they’re not cowards
@@southerncali88 that’s my thought as well! That theory still makes absolutely no sense. The only instance that would make sense is if they 100% verified there were no kids in that particular room with him. Which we all know wasn’t the case. Anyway you spin it, this turns out to be true incompetence and utter disregard for life.
Well "nothings bigger than Texas". They even have the biggest cowards.
I know they heard the gun shots. Gregg Abbott didn’t tell us what really happened. It time for him to roll out.
In America, they allow the police to internally investigate themselves. In England, they have a totally independent commission specifically set up for investigating police complaints & misconduct.
Are police in England unionized? They are here and the union will protect and serve its members right or wrong!
I wish everyone peace and tranquility at such a time!!!
They had a swat team & didn’t stop this??? This is a tragedy on so many levels!! Incompetent is killing children 💔
As a former certified police officer out of manatee county Florida, we were trained to go in and stop further action by a subject who is a active shooter utilizing deadly force immediately. I am absolutely gutted the chief of police and officers alike did not make the right calls here. I do thank the USA border officers ignoring the chief refusing his orders going into the school to take the proper actions. In my opinion, the chief needs to be terminated and arrested held accountable on 21 counts of involuntary manslaughter charges just based on his call alone misguiding his officers. The officers should be made to do a mandatory *non paid* retraining course for their failure to override the chiefs orders in which each officer could of done the moment reports came in regarding anyone shot as deadly force was indeed justified at that time forward. The school resource officer on duty should be terminated instantly and face accountability much like the chief also.
Children should feel safe always at school and never face such terrible situations. As a father and as mentioned a former law enforcement officer. My heart much like the world's is broken over this situation may all impacted regardless if you known those murdered say prayers for all those whom lost loved ones of these little angels and may they rest in peace. Send condolences to the families as well.
shut up you copied and pasted this twice now on different clips.. for likes? loser
I’m not saying you are wrong. But the shooter is carry AR15 with thousands of bullets, the chief have to think twice before sending officers in there. I do think he should act fast, but i also can understand he want to protect his coworkers.
Plus i dun understand why everyone shift the blame to those police officers, they are not the main cause, gun law is.
Thank you for your service.
@@rewer What about the kids who are being killed? The police have training, guns, and some armor. There's times you have to put yourself in fron of others with no idea or care how it ends for you.
@@rewer Don't be a Police Officer if you don't want to risk it. Join another profession. Lowering the standard is why the police is currently filled with garbage officers. We use to have some tough officers who could fight a criminal hand to hand and still arrest him without going for a gun.
I can understand the stress and fear that law enforcement officials may have. I have friends that are cops so I can empathize. But at the same time, they voluntarily signed up for this job. They knew the consequences of that choice. If they are willing to let kids lose their lives just because they were too chicken to confront the shooter with all of their firepower, then don’t join the law enforcement.
they need to be fired 😡😡😡😡
Cops don't need guns if they don't want to engage a shooter. Some just join the job for the benefits and getting to act tough
I can as a Combat Veteran You go in not coward outside .. thin blue line my ass
Reports say many cops snuck in to pull their children out and never engaged the shooter. It took an off duty BORTAC to end it on his own and he didn't have any gear except a shotgun
Also….Oh but Texas & other Republican States INSIST on “Voter ID’s” but if VOTING needs an ID to be secure, why did MITCH MCCONNELL& BILL BARR refuse to do anything to secure voting in the 2020 election? Then they come up with THE BIG LIE? Because thats how THEY PLANNED TO WIN. BY CHEATING! Now, back to not needing a Driver License to buy those guns in Texas. THATS A BIG QUESTION MARK ❓ How did that FFL Dealer sell those guns to that KILLER KID? Why has a random girl in California and a Trans Girl been MISTAKENLY harassed for their ALLEGED INVOLVEMENT (Made up by Rep Gosar (AZ) ) but the Texas Arms dealer who sold those guns to the Uvalde Shooter still hasnt been NAMED?????? Whats the name of the gun shop that allowed this to happen?????
INTERNET!--Do your thing!!!
My heart goes out to these parents... I'm a mother and I will not sit here and pretend to even understand what these parents are going through or how they are feeling... it's every parents worst nightmare to see their baby suffer or hurt. I pray they find peace and the answers they seek during this tragic time. RIP to all the beautiful victims may you rest in the arms of God 🙏🏽❤️🙌🏽
Coward = one who shows fear in the face of danger, or one who lacks the courage to meet danger, or one that turns away from danger.
Do firefighters wait until the fire is out to go inside? Doesn’t matter if the shooter was active or not. There were children that were severely wounded that may have been saved if they entered right away.
Exactly! I don't "buy" the excuse that the officers gave it: they did not enter because it was not an active shooting situation. Kids were calling 911 to get help. Some kids were probably bleeding.
@@azullita3178 One girl had responded to a cop yelling inside. She was shot.
Actually yes they do. I had a nieghbor that her house cought on fire and the husband and three kids got out, but the woman was stuck inside and firefighters did not go in after her after the husband said 100% my wife was still in tthe bed room. She was found after the fire was put out and the house was rubble, laying in the bed completely burnt to a crisp. I know this because I was the investigator called out to the scene to assist the fire marshalls. Fire fighters do the same thing.
100s of cops standing around outside while kids being murdered inside...are you serious??? OMG
This was a planned satanic ritual.
It took an off duty Tac officer with no kit to go up there and end the shooting. Disobeyed an order to back down as he knew what being a police officer was about.
Got brazed I the head, but ended the threat. Shoot to kill
Hello Diane how are you doing today.
My concern for many is conveyed, the sadness as those who lost their lives leave photos, and momentos to be gathered by family and friends. Our nation has lost alot.
Absolute horrible tragedy 🙏💙🙏💜
Hello dear how are you doing
All of these children were so brave and instinctively knew what to do to survive.
Hello Shawn how are you doing today.
i read somewhere a girl covered herself in blood and pretended like she was dead
Heyy Shawn how are you!!
Why do they need a key? They are breaking glass/windows to let children out from other classrooms. But for these two rooms with large windows -- they MUST WAIT for a key.
???Criminal???
They had windows? That makes it even worse, two men could have taken him out easily
@@Mister_Durden Not to mention ICE was on scene with a tactical group and were held back.
A harden exterior door would have been more difficult to forcibly open, but this was an interior door. The first responding police officers had high powered weapons that could have quickly blown off most interior door locks. A pry bar could have also been used as a "door key."
@@southerncalifornia4771 they had helmets body armor probably tear gas and smoke grenades flashbangs it doesn't make any sense we already know there were at the very least two entrances..... create a distraction at one of the doors and shoot him through the window would have been my first plan
It’s so crazy I can’t believe it they could’ve just shot the door open???
Those poor babies...💔
They should be held accountable for this
Hello Susan how are you doing today.
Heyy Susan
Some professions simply have little to no room for error. Policing is one of those professions. Law enforcement officials are literally paid to make THE RIGHT decisions under pressure. These law enforcement officers failed parents, the City of Uvalde, and those precious children. Even personally as men, I would think, if you know there are WOMEN & CHILDREN being slaughtered, nothing inside of you as a protector wants to go in and try to neutralize a threat? That’s pure cowardice. The children’s blood will FOREVER be on their hands.
Every official involved should be fired or resign
Well Said Ashley, GOD will Forgive Them if they truly repent!! Also i totally get what you are saying!!!❤️🙏🏽
Little to no room, 19 officers and over an hour wait to go in. Idiots clearly they don’t have critical thinking skills whatsoever
Well said
@@darleneachille491 Right. More thoughts & prayers. LMAO
Look at all those good guys with a gun and training and equipment RUN FROM danger and leave little children to slaughter!! And had one child call out who then got shot! So they thought a shooter killed a bunch of babies then just stayed there?!! Abbott, you are responsible as well!!
more and more people are realizing, they are NOT " GOOD GUYS"
How is Abbott responsible
I agree but....read..warning..its surprisingly sickening...
Here is the problem and where the public needs educating about what police are responsible for and what they will do and wont:
Just one example of many:
Seems like common sense: We hire police to protect us, and if they don't, we can sue them, right?
Well, one certainly can try to sue! But here's the sad, dark truth: Such a lawsuit is almost certainly doomed from the get-go.
In 2005, the Supreme Court settled whether or not citizens are entitled to protection from violence from the police with a resounding "nope, see you later."
This case also involves the murder of three small children.
Until folks realize that what they *think* cops will do compared to as what they will *actually* do and make changes to this, then no nothing will happen.
Educate yourselves on these things. And figure out a way to make a change.
Why do cops sometimes act this way as far as Uvalde? Fear. They also see it as they are not being equiped with what they need and wait for SWAT teams, border patrol who are more equiped for violent crimes.
Your average beat cop deals with mental issues, traffic detail etc. Rarely and some never deal with actual violence and certainly not at this degree. So they dont know how to handle this. And they are not equiped because they rarely see this type violence.
Not making excuses. Im stating there is an issue and a disconnect from what the public thinks cops are responsible for and what the laws ..the supereme court...actually rules. And why cops dont act many times.
So now we want to defund the police even more? No. But is arming them even heavier with oh idk how about a tank, missles and AK's the answer? No.
But there definitely needs to be a change.
Understanding this from both sides may faciliate this change.
Calling them cowards, stomping our feet etc etc...wont do a thing. Educate yourselves and start writing your congressmen about this issue. Demand change. If they dont? Vote em out of office and put someone there that will pay attention.
And stop handing out assualt rifles and 2000 rounds of bullets to kids. Get social media checks, look into backgrounds more. And do away with weapons to the general public that should ONLY be issued to the military.
You want cops to defend you? Then give them at least a fighting chance also. Otherwise you are asking them to go into a suicide mission.
Stop with the assault rifle BS.
@@FleagleSangria people don’t trust the Military to do the right thing either. Not to mention people aren’t going to hand over their AR15 no matter how much “law” you throw at them, this is the real world. I agree social media is a large issue, as well as our culture, our politics creating radicalism for the sake of getting wins off the other team, not to mention that we as a country are on an economic decline. There is ALOT of issues that have been ignored.
@@Butts0hboi During the ban of these type weapons: The death toll from mass shootings went from Mass shootings 4.8 per year during the ban years to 23.8 per year afterwards. Every single one involved AR-15s. Im not sure what trusting the military has to do with much. If the military was told to turn on the citizens do you think an AR-15 will stop what they can do?
Just sad from both side. RIP
Unbelievable. Makes everything WORSE.
They waited for a KEY??? WHAT!?!?! My heart bleeds for these parents.
....the janitor gave them the key... so, if the janitor doesn't give them the key....
I don’t know what the doors looked like, but in my old highschool, if someone locked their self in a room, there was 0 way to kick in the doors cause of how heavy they were.
I’m more surprised the officers didn’t try to go around to the window, even if it meant climbing a ladder or repelling from the roof. Would’ve been better than waiting on a key.
Police are trained to shoot the door open in such cases, this is no excuse.
@@ShuKatashSam Agreed! I also wonder why the police didn’t sabotage the door by shooting the locks.
@@i.l6916 it was an interior room with no windows
Complete inept response! I want to see the scene commander come out and apologize in Public to the children he failed. He’s a coward for not showing his face and saying “I’m sorry”. I place him in the same despicable category as the evil shooter.
So much incompetence! The teacher who propped open the door should be prosecuted as well as the commanding officer who gave orders to hold back! Unbelievable! So f-ing sad! 😥
Can’t imagine what those innocent lives went through. When will we have end to this?
I can't believe how cowardly these cops are. Just wow
These officers should at a MINIMUM be fired with loss of any retirement benefits. Unbelievable that they would stand there while children were being shot .... there are no words for this level of cowardice
they were not sitting there while the shooter was shooting kids.. why the lies?
@@luby305 yes they were they stood there for an whole entire hour them pigs were cowards
@@luby305 oooohhhh yes, these officers were waiting for the janitor who gave them the key, so they can finally get in.
@@luby305 You’re right they weren’t sitting.. they were holding back the parents of the children who were actually trying to go in and do something unlike those coward officers. They should all be fired.
Theyll all retire early with lucrative benefits like that coward resource officer from FL.
Perfect example why constitutional Carry is so important and you can't ever count on Any law enforcement
Incompetence at it's highest level !! These officers stood outside the doorway as children were being slaughtered right inside the doorway !!! To say that parents want answers 😓 no they want their children back but that's impossible !! FIRE THOSE OFFICERS FIRE GREGSHIT ABOTNOTHING !!!!
This is absolutely unacceptable to wait more than an hour to save children when shots were fired outside the school initially. Those children were already at risk way before the shooter entered that school! Unbelievable, praying for all the families.
I dont blame them. The police cant just go in blasting these days. Most police are too scared to use their guns these days incase they get charged with murder and called a racist.
This is why there is skyrocketing crime and murders across the US, Gangs of youths are walking out of stores with merchandise, robberies and all crimes are through the roof.
Law and order has broken down and its only going to get worse.
There’s no excuse! they were overcome with fear and in that moment they chose their lives over these poor babies 🤬 the chief should be held fully accountable he should be criminally charged! He failed and now because of his poor selfish decision many parents and families lives are changed forever! 💔
FUBAR
I don't think they were overcome by fear..it was something else..I know as an expolice officer fear does not enter your mind at the time of engagement..something else is involved here.
I agree ..but...check this out. This will turn your stomach...

Calling them cowards, stomping our feet etc etc...wont do a thing. Educate yourselves and start writing your congressmen about this issue. Demand change. If they dont? Vote em out of office and put someone there that will pay attention.
And stop handing out assualt rifles and 2000 rounds of bullets to kids. Get social media checks, look into backgrounds more. And do away with weapons to the general public that should ONLY be issued to the military.
You want cops to defend you? Then give them at least a fighting chance also. Otherwise you are asking them to go into a suicide mission.
Stop with the assault rifle BS.
How about YOU go up against a machine gun. This is why we need gun reform. These are war weapons
Cops are cowards, and the "thin blue line" bullshit has been completely debunked by this incident
Sounds like multiple issues of a teacher propping open a door, not just failure by police but failure by the school itself for not having an alarm system for doors being opened for too long.
I don't know how any of these cops could show their face in that town ever again. They have to be humiliated as they should be.
Imagine that teacher who propped that door opened living with this horrific mistake. The hate she must receiving. Safety protocol 101-never leave a door opened unattended.
ESPECIALLY IN A SCHOOL!
Yes I said this same exact thing. I wouldn’t be able to live with myself. This is devastating
Doesnt matter. The issues here is not the door
Imagine being the cowardly pigs who sat outside for over an hour picking their noses and fingering each other’s assholes while threatening parents and waiting for the gunman to use up all his ammo on the kids.
Pigs are cowards. Blue lives don’t matter.
@@saltyfinest2805 It kind of is a big part of the result
Can’t even imagine the horrors they endured with that POS
For an example of how to handle the situation- Look into the two officers that stopped a sociopathic gunman at Umpqua Community College in oregon. Two officers with only a vest, pistol and COURAGE rushed into the building without hesitation.
Imagine blaming a object, the shooter and the cops but not saying a word about the teacher who left the door open which is what allowed this to happen
I can’t understand why they didn’t go after him, they were so close to him. The officer that was there is responsible for not stopping him😡😡😡 like Why?Why? If you are not going to be a good cop , don’t be one
What do you mean “not stopping him?” The shooter had already stopped shooting when that cop classified it a barricade, no longer an active shooter situation
@@InDatParish "No longer an active shooter situation?" how about the 911 calls that kids did it? and the children who were possibly bleeding to death did not need the police to come in to try to save their lives?
Cops are human and they didn't sign up to sacrifice their lives in vain. It sounds like they couldn't get into the classroom without the key. It is unrealistic to expect a minimally trained officer with a six shot revolver to go up against a maniac with an AR-15 and hundreds of rounds. I wouldn't go so far as to call the cops cowards, they just aren't the heros that many like to portray them as. There is a spectrum between selfless, brave hero and sniveling coward and the officers that day fell somewhere in the middle.
@@jonathanwilliams1641 Bruh.
1. First off, sacrificing their lives “in vain” would mean “needlessly/without cause” - but there were children who could’ve been saved but bled out instead.
2. Question, how do cops conduct a 2am no-knock raid at a private home with a double dead bolted door? Hint: they don’t “wAiT fOr a kEy”
3. They were almost definitely all wearing Kevlar
@@jonathanwilliams1641 Most officer have assualt rifles (they call them patrol rifles). Those officers practiced this same situation a month ago and still failed. Stop lowering standards of officers.
My teacher told me this. She said we were thankful to be alive. My best friend told me that one of the children’s mother had said “see you after school” and never did. She didn’t know that was goodbye. ❤
Because they’re bunch of cowards, so angry and disappointed with the world that we’re all living in
The fact that no officers were hurt says a lot.
The training is on point...
omg....the shooter is active until he is either detained or DEAD!!! Just because he stops shooting for a few minutes doesn't mean he is no longer active. As long as he has that gun in his hand and he is breathing....he is ACTIVE!!!!
plain and simple: IN THIS CASE, officers used this terminology (barricade instead of active shooter) as an excuse to not get in.
All of us that have kids know there's like 30 students in a room The sad thing is there were officers in the hallways and other officers outside telling parents not to go in why be a cop if you have to wait for backup to pile up before you actually go in?
Because like I said there are 30 kids to a classroom. An officer untrained for that could have easily been killed or shot a kid in the head trying to breach the classroom unprepared.
Facts they sign up to protect and serve even if there life is on the line, if you're not ready to die for it then don't sign up to be a cop
@@TheBasher-_- "I can't breathe", what kind of training was that all about? 🖖
All of us that refused to have kids are smart ! We'll never know your pain and heartbreak 💔
honestly doesnt matter about more backup, there were NINETEEN officers, they had plenty of backup, they just had more cowardice.
Everybody involved should be charged with 19 counts of murder to send a message to law enforcement that if you a coward you should quit
Not one police officer took the initiative to storm the classroom after hearing gunshots and children crying out for help? That’s absolutely appalling!
To keep saying they believed the active shooter barricaded himself inside a classroom alone is FARCICAL! For the commander on scene, the severity of disciplinary action should match the severity of lives lost. Nobody cares how many officers did not get injured when you have unarmed teachers and children getting killed while officers stand there and listen. The blood of the innocent is on the hands of these officers as well as the killer, who kept killing the kids in order to engage officers who wouldn’t engage (because that’s how troublemakers think-they crave engagement).
Seriously, by that point I really wouldn't care if cops died. That's what they signed up for. The kids and teacher didn't
No, thats a false assumption. They didnt sign up to die. In fact the supreme court has ruled that basically officers are there to protect you or your children at any cost.
Im defending them, Im saying that people need to be aware of this. And try and make a change through the legal system to it.
Youd be surprised what cops are responsible for and not responsible for.
@@FleagleSangria You falsely assume saving children = dying cops. Taxpayers invest plenty of money to armor and train officers in order to SAVE innocent lives. These officers make it appear as if all of that money is spent to protect themselves at all cost. And the gibberish coming out of their mouths says the same: protect ourselves at all cost. Where is the shame and humility? That would at least render some of them human. To keep collecting a taxpayer funded paycheck or pension after standing around armored, armed and unmotivated by innocent and unarmed teachers and children getting killed is beyond cowardice and stupidity.
@@OCFilmFan And you could be assuming it doesnt. Im not defending the police. In fact the opposite. Im saying if we dont understand the reasons why police think the way they do then we start with nothing but a bunch of emotional responses. We also need to understand how the courts rule and why. That is how we make change. Educate ourselves. Then put people in office who do not support this BS and the Supreme Courts rulings. Therefore making a change in law and policy. Federal, state, local and within the governing policies of police officials.
@@FleagleSangria No I am saying I am ok with people who are clad in taxpayer funded helmets and body armor, armed with taxpayer funded side arms and rifles, and the recipients of tax payer funded weapons and tactical training getting shot at while attempting to save the lives of the unarmored, unarmed and untrained. I am saying give taxpayers back their money if you are just around to collect a paycheck untill you can collect a pension without ever getting in the line of fire for somebody who has no means of protecting themselves. SHAMEFUL and DISGUSTING are just adjectives. I think I have given you more than adjectives and I have and will continue to vote accordingly.
The failure of cowards. Don’t let these cops and politicians lie to you. They don’t care about you or children.
Its a real eye opener
I knew they didn't care, but i didn't realize it was to this extent.
I don’t know how these cops can live with that guilt.
Not only did the cops standby and do nothing to help those kids, but that teacher that left the door open needs to be invested because that sounds suspect. If you're a teacher and you left a door to a school open and you know there's an active shooter mins after that teacher's first action should have been to secure that door. Just 3 mins before the shooter arrives. hmmm
"One man with courage, makes a majority." - Andrew Jackson That is what they should have taught at the Academy...
Police work for the system, not you. Never forget that.
@@EroticOnion23 I did for a moment but I`m not forgetting now...Thanx!
"minutes"? Now being reported as over an hour...
So sad
All those officers with AR15s and none went in! Just sad and pathetic.... 😤
"We burying our teachers because they braver than the cops." ~Inayah
And yet teachers have lower salary and less recognition. So sad...
Hello Cherelle how are you doing today.
Turns out that to stop one "Bad Guy with a Gun" it takes a dozen or so "Good Guys" with body armor, helmets, Ballistic shields, and multiple guns.
@1:17 "...A teacher propped open a door that the shooter uses to gain access to the school..." That needs to be addressed as well.
no weapon in an 18 year old-lost-soul's hands, no report on a response of any kind.
Every officer on scene should be fired and criminally charged for their negligence. The one who put cuffs on a mom should be serving years
Tsk... Imagine how many lives were saved if they acted right away. This is heartbreaking. The world mourns.
Are your eyebrows real?
Yeah
😆💀
No the world looks on in horror as the truth slowly leaks out with authorities willing to spin their own truth to protect themselves. Today is the 26th and it the first time that videos are appearing, for the first time of children being evacuated. Before this video, only officers being pictured outside the school. Where were these videos on the day this happened and where was the truth on Tuesday and the days that followed? The world watches, in horror, as authorities lie to protect themselves. We watch as they scramble to spin the outcome of an investation that makes them look like they did their job. Parents are mourning & at the same time, finding out that the people they look to for protection; lied. I am sick, as new info is revealed that authorities failed to respond & protect the people they serve & are willing to lie about it💔
@@judygavan222 Police were doing that for a long time already, and this is the 1st time you found out about it? Too late to put that heart broken emoji lmao
Even if he was no longer actively shooting, ppl who are shot need to be rescued to receive immediate medical treatment. Many ppl survive gunshots if treated in time.
I’m sure there will be even more disturbing revelations as to how this all truly went down
STAND AND FIGHT FOR OUR CHILDREN ..Dont let this ever ever happen again !!! We need better gun reform and safer secure schools !!PLEASE GIVE ME ADVICE ANYONE HOW WE CAN ADVOCATE FOR ALL CHILDREN ... AS A PARENT I NEED HELP ...I LIVE IN SOUTH TEXAS !! BUT THIS IS HAPPENING IN MANY PLACES IN OUR COUNTRY ..IM ONLY 1 MOTHER BUT I WELL DO ANYTHING I CAN .. SO THESE CHILDRENS PASSING IS NOT IN VAIN !! SO THIS NEVER EVER HAPPENS AGAIN!!
What is gun reform gonna do??. Ur missing the main point. The white culture needs to address why their kids are killing. And gun reform. . Ok then those guys can just make ghost guns. Learn to think outside the box. . Address the root issues not republican lobbyist talkin points.
im sorry but those cops are gunna get medals for waiting an hour
Enjoying the propaganda
If cops are too scared to confront someone with an AR-15 then we need to ban them or at the very least require a license + checks to own one.
President Trump had the solution in his speech at the NRA conference. I hope that Joe Biden will listen to President Trump's solutions and implement them to save our children and protect our schools.
How can we not be affected by this story! It is so sad, we can all relate to this
for our own families.
Because as humans we will forget about it in 7 days and move on until the next mass shooting.
Looks like somebody is going to sue the police department for doing nothing
I hope the families sue the pants off those so called “officials”. Those deaths were preventable.
This is going to be the largest lawsuit against law enforcement in history.
All those officers that didn't have the courage to enter and engage the shooter should face wrongful death or murder charges. 😡😡😡😡🤬🤬🤬🤬😡😡
All those loser cops was scar
Wow look at all those big glass doors. A bullet would open that in a flash, but cops keep trying to blame the teacher.
Who was the teacher that propped the door open & why?
As a cop/SWAT operator ,this one doesn’t sit right with me. Idk what their protocol is, but once they knew where he was (regardless) if the sound of gunfire stopped, that was way too much time to breach that door. It’s just my opinion though. Sad situation all around.
Am I the only one but why is the Governor of Texas speaking for the City of Uvalde instead of their Mayor or senior councilmember? Also if the police chief is the one that made the decision to hold back, why isn't he answering the hard questions? Why is Texas DPS and the Rangers always at the news podium? Where did the city officials go? Aren't they more clued into what is happening here?
According to this time line, officers were there 2 min after he went in!! They waited 75 min to do something!?!😭
I remember another time when this happened.
